Physical Review Applied Seeks an Assistant Editor

The editors of Physical Review Applied seek a dynamic and personable colleague for the position of Assistant Editor at the editorial offices in Ridge, New York, on Long Island near Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University. The primary job of an editor is to decide, aided by anonymous peer review, which papers merit publication according to the journal's criteria.

For this purpose, we aim to hire an Assistant Editor who has a Ph.D. and postdoctoral experience in an area relevant to the journal (applied physics), and is familiar with the research publication process.

An excellent command of written and spoken English is essential. No prior editorial experience is required -- we train all new editors to develop the necessary skills. An Assistant Editor is expected to take independent actions on submitted manuscripts and also to help with the overall mission of the journals. We offer career stability, a competitive salary, and an outstanding benefits package to a qualified individual ready to start a nontraditional career in physics.
